Is that on a track? Cause theres vans and cars and bikes... seems pretty cool

[MidnightMike]

That would be the nurburgring in Germany/austria?

Tis a big bitch of a track. :Punk:

Heres a map:

Some bad driving skills from the other cars on the track....if it was just the Porsche and the R1 then....the bike would not have caught up, open track days can be a great leveler....hows the red car towards the end??....''fuck off oy''.....:angry:

[placidfemme]

So because its in Germany is that KPH or MPH? Cause at times the biker was doing 180+

[onearmedbandit]

Km/h, at times the bike was showing over 210.

ohhh... well that doesn't impress me too much (compared to if it had been MPH). Being an R1 I would have imagined slightly higher speeds... but still WAY faster than me!!

It's a recovery vehicle.

The problem with the ring is always traffic and useless riders/drivers but as far as car vs bike, all things being equal, a car will always win on a track. Bikes suck at cornering.

i bloody love watching vids like that. thanks :)

I get to drive the new gt3 quite often, and one thing I have to say about it, is that they are very well engineered cars, their gearboxes are tight and their clutches are hard, which for a high perfomance car is very good, their suspension is good as well. (Its my bosses car, I have to detail it about once or twice a week)

[BigG]

Two good videos, we no that cars are quicker on tight corners cos there's more brakes and more rubber on the road, but in trafic its diffrent thats whare we have the advantage, as for mr J he can stick his chequered flag whare the sun don't shine, smart arss:bye: :bye:
